Summary:

With the international technical days 2008, ICOMOS France aims to offer an overview of state-of-the-art preservation and restoration techniques for wood structures (timber framing and panels, windows and doors, specific wood structures…) for historical buildings in France and abroad.

Working languages : English and French.

The meeting will bring together scientists, curators, restorers, firms (those involved in frameworks, manufacturers for the various products, materials and diagnosis tools…), representatives of public authorities and local communities.

This event will address assessment, consolidation and protection methods, professional standards and regulations (or lack of), and current day expertise. The problem of parasites will be examined: detection, diagnosis and treatment. Related themes concerning finish and dendrochronology will also be explored.

These subjects will be illustrated by examples of operations accomplished in the preservation-restoration field.
